LANTERN-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATIQN forming 'part of Letters Patent No. 344,649, dated June 29, 1886,

Application filed August 17, 1885. Serial No. 174,543. (No model.)

thereto. Fig. 2 is a detail view, in sectional elevation, ofmy device on abuggy-arm. Fig. 3 is a vertical cross-section of my lantern attachment.

In the drawings, A represents my handle or spring attachment, which is soldered to the back of lantern and just above the middle thereof, so that the lantern may be conveniently used with vehicles, as well as by hand.

B is the arm of a buggy or other vehicle provided with an arm-socket, b, of irregular or non-circular form on the inside. Corresponding to and fitting into this Imake the hollow post a, having the outer collar, a, to rest upon the top of socket b.

O is an endless wire, or it may be the two ends of a wire passed through the hollow post a, and soldered or otherwise fastened thereto. Above said post the wire is bent to form the coil-springs c 0, then carried down and bent at right angles to make the bow c, which springs under the box or post a. The bars 0 c, which are preferably parallel, are soldered to the-lantern, as shown in Fig. lot the drawlugs.

By connecting the lantern with a vehicle by my spring attachment it is not so liable by jam or jolts to be displaced or broken, while the lantern may be readily detached for use about the stable or elsewhere.

Having thus described all that is necessary to a full understanding of my invention,what I claim is The spring attachment A, for connecting a lantern with a vehicle, consisting of the box or post a, having outer collar, a, and the wire 0, fastened therein, said wire being bent to form coil-springs c a, bow c, and bars 0 0 substantially as shown and described.
